Anticorp , in How do you store your grounded coffee?

In my belly. Don't grind the beans until you're ready to make coffee, and only grind enough for that brew.

gencha , in How do you store your grounded coffee?

I loved seeing this. We had the exact same tin box in my childhood household. We used it to store tea. May all your future coffee brews be blessed with this mental connection

I grind on demand, if I have a little too much I'll dip it like a wad of tobacco which is probably gross but I like it so don't @ me.

That's a good one 😂 I'm going to borrow it

Borrow for as long as you like 😉

multicolorKnight , in How do you store your grounded coffee?

I drink it. That's a nice tin, though. I have lots of beans, tea and mate that would feel honored to be in that tin.

Thank you kind one :)

Oooh man, that tin box! We had that as our cookie tin box when I was a kid.

Does anyone have any idea where that comes from?

alphafalcon ,

No idea, but it was my parent's box for loose tea leaves...

Had no idea so many people would point out that they knew this tin hahaha. Kinda fun! Only recently picked it up for very cheap on a second hand market.

Just like me! Except I choose the small one. I wanted badly to get the lot but I don't have enough thing to store to justify it.

best_username_ever ,

I had a bigger box than OP, and it always had tea inside for me. I guess it was a specific brand of tea but I may hallucinate this.

TedZanzibar , in How do you store your grounded coffee?

ITT a surprising number of people who remember having these tins as kids, including me. I'll have to see if my parents still have theirs.

aicse , in My initial experiments with Gaggia Classic Pro Evo

Did you check if it has the flaking issue? I bought one a week ago and it already has flakes through the steam wand. Seems like Gaggia is ignorant of the issue.

WhyAUsername_1 OP ,

Can you elaborate?

aicse ,

Here is an article about the issue: Boilergate

You can check yours by running some water via the steam wand, if you find any small black grinds in the cup, that is the coating peeling.

WhyAUsername_1 OP ,

I have not yet faced this issue. I will check this tomorrow.

watersnipje , in How do you store your grounded coffee?

Wow, instant nostalgia from that tea tin. In the Netherlands these were definitely a thing in the last century. I don’t know where they came from but everyone had them. I’ve ordered some (they’re pretty cheap).

atrielienz , in How do you store your grounded coffee?

I have literally a couple of mason jars (the smaller variant ball jars). I have a hand grinder that fits the jars so it works out. Means my husband and I can both have ground coffee fairly fresh and without having to share (his coffee tastes like dirt to me). It works for us. We grind the night before usually.

zabadoh , in How do you store your grounded coffee?

I keep my old coffee bags with the little plastic vent thing in them, and use those to store my brewing grounds for the week.

I can't deal with grinding fresh every day.

Sunny OP ,
@Sunny@slrpnk.net avatar

Yeah same here, currently grind only every other day - which still feels a lot hehe. Totally get that "keep it as fresh as possible", but I dont have the time in the mornings to go through the full process, so gotta cut the corners some places :P

zabadoh , in How much coffee do y'all typically drink in a sitting?

1 x 16oz mug of french press made with about 20g grounds in the morning, and that's it.

I do sometimes need a cola at lunch to pick myself up though.

zabadoh , in Paperless Stainless Steel Filter

I use this sieve-like thing sold as an "oil skimmer" that's sold in local Asian markets for USD$1.49

It has a super fine mesh, but it doesn't get clogged filtering my French press brew.

Anything that gets through, I can drink easily.

Here's the closest thing I could find on Google https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Skimmer-Strainer-Filter-Handle/dp/B0CWKNP2VS/ref=asc_df_B0CWKK61YF/

PrecisePangolin , in What's in your cup this week?

Rio Grande Roasters vanilla hazelnut. I love these beans so much. The piñon is also really good! Very chocolatey and smooth.

Pronell ,

Someone else on here - might've been you - turned me on to them and now I've been alternating between Pinon and Chocolate Pinon. So tasty!

PrecisePangolin ,

I discovered them from Lemmy as well! I bet we saw the same post!

Hagenman , in What's in your cup this week?

Benchwarmer Brew from one of my favorite YouTubers, Brandon Perna of ThatsGoodSports.

sorry to say i never came across a kona worth its price

CCMan1701A OP ,

Yeah, I'm not sure I want to get another bag for a while. It tastes like I'm drinking burnt dirt runoff lol I think my garden likes it however. It's fine, I'm mixing it in and making something that tastes good.

Broken_Monitor ,

I was just gifted a bag of Domain Kona and thought it was excellent. Admittedly I’m new to better coffee so my palette may not be as refined as other people’s, but I haven’t had anything better yet. This stuff is very pricey so I’m searching for some middle ground, but I would treat myself to this again.

CCMan1701A OP ,

Nice. Yeah Kona is nice once a year. Lol too pricey to be all the time. I'm exploring the beans available at my local food stores for now after trying a few other mail order options.

TheAlbatross ,

It used to be $6.99 a pound ten years ago. That was wonderful. While it's still my favorite light roast, it's expense means I drink it maybe once a year when I get a bag as a gift or a treat for myself.

specialseaweed ,

I lived on the big island and my boss owned a coffee farm in Kona. He brought us a couple bags on roasting day. Still the best coffee I’ve had by miles and miles.
